Your male to female ratios?

hola amigos, Im on my first grow with 7 beautiful healthy kiddos loving life. However, they are non sexed and Im anxious to know how many females Ill have. Obviously 50/50 would be the common sense ratio, but as with animals in nature, 1 male often is enough for 3 or so females. So hopefully only 1 or 2 of my plants will be males? lol Im not looking for a crystal ball answer, just felt like throwing this thread out there. thanks for your time

It's a roll of the dice. I often get mostly females and a few times I have gotten a lot of males but mostly female is more common. It seems to me that some strains just spit out lots of males.

Usually, if using bagseed, it's a guess, but I have been lucky, and 5 out of 5 from bagseed have been ladies.

That's because there probably was hermaphrodite pollen in the mix. I am always sceptical when I don't get ANY males from a strain.

Isnt seeds from hermies potentially a good thing? Ive read many times that hermies pollinated by themselves produces feminized/mostly female seeds. However the negative could be that the seeds are genetically more likely to hermie...

I would have thought that too, but these seeds have been collected over 12 or so years, from a couple different states.

If a hermie pollinates itself then the only genes around are going to be lady genes...hence feminized seeds.

Imo; the seeds are more likely to become hermies themselves
